Standard Business Card Printing FAQs

How do I make sure the text on my business cards is easy to read?

Use at least 9 pt font, maintain strong contrast, and avoid thin or hairline fonts. You can use our tool to help you gauge font size and distance: https://www.uprinting.com/blog/business-cards-font-size/

Will the paper stock and finish affect the colors of my standard business cards?

Yes. Different paper stocks and finishes can change how colors look. Gloss makes colors appear brighter, matte gives a softer look, uncoated stock looks more natural, and UV gloss adds extra shine to highlighted areas.

Can I have a glossy front and a writable back on my standard business cards?

Choose the 14 pt. Cardstock (Coated Front + Uncoated Back) paper type. The glossy side enhances color while the uncoated side allows easy writing with pens or pencils.

How do I prevent borders from looking uneven on my standard business cards?

Keep borders at least 1/8 inch inside the safe zone and extend background colors into the bleed area. Avoid placing borders too close to trim edges since slight shifts can happen during production.
